While I love designer fashion for kids, it’s always a fun idea to mix in your own unique, handmade accents for a truly one-of-a-kind look! Kids love being creative, and these simple projects are a lovely way to engage with your children while encouraging their natural love of art and craft. Take simple tees or blank tank tops or jeans and let your kids go wild! Have you ever made potato stamps? Google it! Let the kids loose with paint brushes and their favorite jeans, along with tubes of paint? Try it!
Have fun painting jeans with the kids! They will love you for it and adore wearing something they created!
Pom-poms are just about the easiest thing to make and so easy for kids. Check Pinterest for easy tutorials. Attach pom-poms to shoes, headbands or leather strings and pin them to tank tops for a whimsical look!

Did you ever make a potato stamp in grade school? Do simple screen printing with stickers? Grab a solid tank and get to work! Let your child make a handprint with acrylic paint on a tank. Remember those pom-poms? Hot glue onto a strip of fabric for a fun collar!
Getting a little messy with the kids is GREAT bonding time and they will be SO proud of their new pieces!
